The saddest part of this is the tiny representation of the green party in parliament vs the voter sentiment :(
Honestly if they weren't anti nuclear they might get more votes. It is definitely a wedge issue for a lot of people. They are also anti car which is good! Except I have never met anyone who is also anti car.
They also say weird things sometimes like wanting to reduce c sections and make birth a non medical event.
Honestly I'd take anti-nuclear over pro-fossil but yeah its not perfect.
I think part of the problem is that their entire MO is built around expecting to only get 1 or 2 seats.
I think they'd also get a lot more votes if people didn't need to vote tactically. A lot of the left wing voters would be freed up to vote with an actual left wing party
